How many phones you had in your life? Think about it …The electronics are disposable! The industry itself makes them trash in less than three years this is called planned obsolescence.
There is a theory called Moore’s Law: every 18 months, the ability of processors (Intel, memory capacity, etc ..) doubles and cost half the price to produce. The electronics are designed so that every two years we need to buy new ones and the reality is they are much better … But what about all that garbage? Electronics, computers, cameras, DVD, cables, adapters, chargers ….
All electronics have metals, toxics and chemicals and most end up in rivers, lakes and the sea! Every year we generated 2.5 million tons of electronic waste. Can you believe it!
We need to make laws to force companies to recycle electronic waste and generate modular devices that can adapt to the electronic development so they don’t become waste.
I invite you to watch a video that explains it perfect and even gives a solution – The Story of Electronics (2010)
